About the first days of Soviet rule in Tajikistan. Since ancient times, the people of the small Pamir village have been reclaiming patches of land from the mountains for crops. There was only one person in the village who did not know poverty and sorrow, the world-eating kulak Pir Karim-sho. The son of Karim-sho - Shamba fell in love with the daughter of a poor man, the beautiful Sabina. But Sabina dreamed of a friend whom she did not know, but who would bring her love and happiness, not wealth. It was then that the rumor spread that poor Sabina, who had abandoned her rich husband, was insane. But the day came when the border guards, the first representatives of the Soviet government, arrived in the village.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
